I agree that small groups are a potent way to spur inner and outer change. I appreciate how your post weaves together so many important threads. It reminds me of the story of consciousness raising groups among women in the early feminist movement.
Hi Brian - this article is SPOT on and in alignment with something I am trying to do right now. I'm also a regular participant of the Presencing Institute's u.lab offerings, including their current GAIA initiative. I would like to talk with you, if you are interested. What's the best way to connect?
I think I found my people! Thank you so much. I am a teacher in Burnaby, BC but have been in the role of a Community School Coordinator for several years now. I host many groups, facilitate many groups in the school district and City and feel at my very best when hosting and connecting folks. I have taken the Art of Hosting on Bowen Island with Chris, Caitlin, Amanda, Tennyson, etc and I was just in flow the whole time. I have recently read Art of Gathering by Parker (3 times!) I loved it so much and am on a journey to find more resources - and folks -- like that! Yesterday, I remembered to check in on The Art of Hosting groups on Facebook and found this. Looking so forward to being in contact with everyone here.

I wrote this two part blog called The Joy and Necessity of Micro-Collaborations, which has links to other resources for small groups. https://www.ndcollaborative.com/micro-collaborations-part-1/

Thank you for a thoughtful and inspiring article and weaving such richness from the community into the unfolding story.
